The Compass shows the benefits of applying Jeep's 70 years of off-road experience to the creation of an urban all wheel drive 'soft roader' that will surprise and excite the most demanding driver.

The modern exterior styling package features contemporary wagon-like lines and a softer interpretation of Jeep's trademark styling cues.

The interior features a 60/40 splitfold reclining rear seat. The generous cargo space is up to to 738 litres with the rear seats folded flat and 1277 litres with the front passenger seat back and rear seats folded flat. Loads of over 2.0m in length can be accommodated.

Compass offers four-cylinder petrol and turbo diesel powerplants in a compact five-door wagon package with heaps of interior space and passenger legroom.

The 2.4 litre petrol engine has dual variable valve timing and boasts a power/torque output of 125kW at 6000rpm and 220Nm at 4500.

The frugal 2.0-litre DOHC 16-valve diesel pumps out 103kW at 4000 rpm and 310Nm between 1750-2000rpm. It comes with a six-speed manual gearbox only.

The Compass is the first Jeep with four-wheel independent suspension for a smooth, comfortable ride on any road surface. Up front there's MacPherson struts and at the rear a five-link trailing arm design.

While the Compass's AWD system defaults to front-wheel drive in most situations, it automatically apportions drive to the rear wheels (and side to side via a Brake Traction Control function) whenever required.

All models offer a generous range of standard features including power windows and mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, 17-inch alloy wheels (with full-size steel spare), front and rear fog lamps and keyless entry and alarm.

Safety features such as ESP and front and curtain airbags are also included on both models.

The US safety road safety authority NHTSA has given the Compass a five-star side impact rating and four stars for both frontal impact and rollover protection.

Jeep Compass prices start from $32,490 plus on road costs.
